When you open a network cabinet, you will find integrated cabling products inside that may not be distinguishable except for network cables and modules. Let's learn about them here. What are patch panels, patch panels and cable management frames, and what is the difference between them?
A patch panel, called a cable management rack in some places, is a convenient way to organize network cables. The wiring closet itself is not related to the network, but only facilitates the installation of hardware. The cable management frame is installed in accordance with the direction of the cable. By using the cable trays wisely, the cables are naturally organized to form an easy-to-maintain system.
Racks are generally used together with patch panels to facilitate the management of patch cords. The cable management supports the cable and the patch cord connectors enter the RJ-45 module horizontally. This way the cable does not turn at right angles before inserting into the module, reducing the loss of its own signal and also reducing the radiation interference to the surrounding cables.
The cable management frame can be divided into metal cable management frame and plastic cable management frame according to different materials. When using, you can choose according to your needs.
Jumper frame.
Jumper tines consist of flame-retardant, modular plastic parts that are equipped with multiple tooth bands for terminating pairs. Using the 788J1 special tool, the pairs can be sequentially "embossed" on the patch panel frame. To complete the termination of voice trunk cable and voice horizontal cable. Commonly used sizes are: 100, 200 and 400 pairs.
Patch panels are typically used in large network cabinets and are unlikely to be used in homes or small offices. The primary function of a patch panel frame is to reduce the loss of network equipment interfaces such as switches. Because a patch panel frame looks like a row of fish bones, it is also known as a fish bone and is commonly used for telephone connections.
The function of a patch panel frame is to provide easy and fast termination and distribution of high-density voice data cable connections. Patch frames are available for wall mounters and vertical cabinets. Patchbay frames have a wide range of features for all high-speed applications such as voice communication systems and multimedia.
Patch Panels
Patch panels here generally refer to RJ45 patch panels, also known as network patch panels. The most important component used in the management subsystem is the hub that enables cross-connections between the vertical trunking and horizontal cabling subsystems. Patch panels are usually installed in cabinets or on walls.
Distribution frames can be divided into 90-degree network distribution frames (0.5U/1U) and 180-degree network cabinet distribution frames (0.5U/1U/2U). Telephone voice distribution frames (both unshielded, with 25 ports and 50 ports) can be divided into Super 5/6/Super 6 distribution frames according to the type of transmission.
Whether at home or in the office, the use of patch panels is now becoming more and more common. Or building construction, as long as the use of network, generally will use wiring frame, which can facilitate management, server cabinets with patch panels will make the layout of the server room more concise if used.
